I agree. I miss the Tylers,

This is the perfect time to relaunch the Tylers. Bring in a new generation. Doesn't the Tyler mansion belong to Jamie now? I think Phoebe left it to him in her will.

Beyond letting so many leave, I think what they did to Tad and Jake (so self-righteous and unpleasant) also damaged the family. There was no real warmth there as time passed.

Yes, although I have to say I'm kinda glad we're getting a Martin episode this week--I've actually (largely) liked Tad and Jake (wow) under Broderick's current last few months. Actually I thought Tad was relatively well handled under K&S (Jake was just annoying though)--his interaction with Damon especially, even if they ruined that with the lack of Hillary. But I certainly know where you're coming from.

Yes! Who is in it? I agree--and I really wish there ws a chance they could get Julia Barr at PP but even if there was I have the feeling it's not on their radar.

I think it's been mixed in recent years, but I meant more in the late 90's - well, Jake as soon as the awful Lowry fell out of that damn tree, and then Tad a few years later. It used to drive me away from the show for periods of time. That was also when the whole Adam Chandler evil father stuff started kicking up, which I thought was too obvious.

I def agree with all of that--well Tad didn't bug me too much till the second half of McTavish's last stint though there were some bad eras before. Lowry as Jake--ugh.

As far as Erica in New York...she was definitely living in the Chandler mansion by the fall of 1984, when Adam faked his death to see how she'd react but then was kidnapped by Billy Clyde. She probably still had her New York apartment, but IDK when/if she ever went back to living there full time.

Oddly enough, I watched an episode today where she and Mark threw a party at the NY apartment, and none of the guests were from Pine Valley. I'll bet you a hundred bucks they really mulled over whether or not they could spin Erica off into her own show then. So glad they didn't.

There's a Feb 1984 AMC ep online where Erica is fighting with the Chandler housekeeper (forgetting her name but I think she turned out to be evil) to see the house to find a location for her wedding, and of course she's not allowed into one wing where strange noises are coming from (poor Stuart...)

I'm not even gonna lie. I would have knocked JM's junk around in the 40s and 50s.

Joanna Yaeger!! I love all the Chandler mansion stuff from that time period. Only AMC will have an actor named Peter Phillips playing a character named Philip Peters.

James Mitchell really was a dance legend, something that actually seems somehwat forgotten. Agnes DeMille (who infamously choreographed the groundbreaking Oklahoma ballet as well as the ballet for Bloomer Girl and other shows he was in) called him the best male dancer she had ever worked with--and actually tried to romance and marry him a number of times. I uploaded this to youtube, but they removed the music, cry

And some of the Dream ballet from OK

Yeah the early Chandler stuff was quite gothic (I wonder when Adam gave up on his love for Asian sculptures...). OK refresh my memory, who was Phillip Peter...

Agnes seemed to have a somewhat secret love of the gothic, it's never really mentioned when people talk about her work. And for Rebecca style sinister housekeepers--Helga, Joanna, Myra--who of course turned out to not be so sinister...

Wonderful photos. They make Paint Your Wagon sound very dirty.

I love that cheesy photo of him in the Western. Couldn't get away with that now...

I didn't know he was in the Turning Point.

I'd never seen that Where the Heart Is photo before. Robyn Millan looks like an alien and Diana Walker seems terrified. Diana van der Vlis is like "What the hell is this?"

Too bad they didn't put a photo of him on the show - there's one with his siblings.

Paint Your Wagon was dirty for the time (the awful movie that was done nearly twenty years later has little in common with the stage version aside from some songs).

I wish Turning Point would be released on DVD--it's campy, yeah but a lot of fun.

LMAO! I cracked up when I saw that pic. They all look doped up or something.

Secret love? Surely, you jest, Eric. Wasn't it mentioned in...

ALL HER CHILDREN?!
